Perform a Migration BMR

When the actual machine is ready, perform a migration BMR. Migration BMR restores the original data from the backup session and the new data from the temporary machine to the actual machine.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Restore from the Wizard menu and select Migration BMR.

    The Backup Server page of the Restore Wizard - Migration BMR opens.

  2. Provide all the details in the Restore Wizard - Migration BMR.

    Note: For more information on performing a BMR, see How to Perform a Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) for Linux Machines.

  3. Ensure that the following information is provided on the Backup Server page of the wizard.
    1. Select the instant VM recovery job or the Instant BMR job.
      Local Server

      Specifies that the Backup Server is locally managed. The BMR job for the temporary machine is run on the local server.

      Remote Server

      Specifies that the Backup Server is remotely managed. The BMR job for the temporary machine is run on the remote server. You have to provide the remote server details to connect to the remote server.

    2. Select the restore job from the Job Name drop-down list.

      The list displays the Instant VM recovery job or Instant BMR job, which is in the Ready to use job phase or Power off job phase, once it is ready to use.

  4. Save the BMR job.

    In the home page, the Job Phase on the Job Status tab changes to Click here to migrate data.

  5. (Optional) Boot the temporary machine using a Live CD when the selected job type is Instant BMR.
  6. From the Job Status tab, click Click here to migrate data.

    The data migration begins.
